The annual St. Barths Bucket, held every March on the stunning Caribbean island of St. Barths, brought a thrilling and unique atmosphere this year! Instead of the typical 20-25 knots of wind that has graced the event for the past decade, this time we were greeted with calm, light breezes.
Two of our exceptional Hoek designs, the 157 ft sloop Wisp and the Truly Classic 128 Vijonara, competed in different classes. While Wisp, a two-time class winner in recent years, faced some challenges in the light winds and finished 4th in its class, Vijonara absolutely shone! She triumphed in all three of her races and came incredibly close to winning the overall Bucket title. With the owner at the helm and expert tactics and navigation from the team, Vijonara delivered a truly remarkable performance.
A huge congratulations to the owners and crews of both Vijonara and Wisp for their outstanding efforts and successes! What a memorable event!
